A true selvedge denim icon - this is the Cone Mills 1968. The most you can ask from a great selvedge denim is that it starts out beautiful and gets even better over time. As you can see from this well worn pair, the 1968 absolutely delivers.
Gustin jeans made from sanforized raw selvedge denim from Cone Mills. The 1968 was somewhat of a premium denim company darling. It was used by many and there's a reason for it. It sneaks up on you. It seems unassuming at first, but when you see the beautifully rich indigo shade and crisply starched raw feel you know you're touching classic quality. 20oz denim is cool. Super light denim is fun too. Let's face it, the 13.5oz sweet spot is a winner. It works year round and that's what you get in the 1968 - it has great body. We used this fabric as we were developing the skinny fit and knew we had to get our hands on more than just sample yardage. This is authentic, classic selvedge denim at its best.
This is the same style and quality that was sold in boutiques all over the country for $205+.
*Note: unlike most brands, we don't use vanity sizing for our pants. If you're a first time customer, we highly recommend checking out our fit guide.

Customer Feedback on THE 1968
"I absolutely love my 1968’s. They are the perfect retro denim and so far the fit is excellent. I haven’t washed them yet, so that will be an adventure, but I’m sure I will figure that out."
-Peter H. | Verified Buyer
"I was apprehensive about ordering from abroad but I am delighted with my 1968s. The sizing is true and they are a great fit. Thank you!"
-Chris W. | Verified Buyer
"This pair of jeans are the most comfy air of denim jeans I have ever owned! Because I needed to order a bigger waist size than I normally do, I had to get them hemmed. Fortunately, I have a dear friend that was able to hem them. I’m 5’10”, and found the 34” waist size to be the perfect fit for me!"
-David S. | Verified Buyer
"My first Gustin. I bought the Vintage Straight fit. Very good fabric, perfect weight for all seasons. Stitches are very nice. I would definitely give a five star if the front two pockets are a little deeper. The fact is, I can’t really sit down with my iPhone in the pocket. This kind of shallow front pockets are very typical of Japanese made jeans, but I didn’t expect that from a pair of American jeans."
